Waiting for new purchase
« on: July 27, 2012, 14:26:18 »
This should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow: http://www.etsy.com/listing/103595591/collection-of-vintage-playmobil-geobra?image_id=353527622
Can't wait!

I mostly want the organ grinder and the pig cart (which is apparently missing the pigs). I'll probably keep the stagecoach and/or the wagon (probably both) and sell off the furniture (it's all stuff I already have and the houses are pretty much filled with furniture) and possibly the medical stuff. Looking forward to lots of sorting.

Nothing yet, which means they should come tomorrow (the post office said by tomorrow). I should have known; Denver (where the package processing center is) likes to sit on our packages for a day or two.

The seller found a few other pieces after I bought the lot that she said she would throw in: a yellow camper with a cracked roof, a couple klickies and a few other small bits, so there'll be a few surprises.

No, not Sundays, I was just up late on Friday night (Saturday morning), so my last post showed as today. They do work a full day on Saturday though.

Nothing today, which means they are officially late. Boo, I was hoping to sort everything this weekend. Looks like I'll have to wait till Monday. :(
